Privacy and your data.
This notice explains who handles your data, which services receive it, and how you can access or delete it.
Who is responsible
Vedic Life Path is operated by De AI-Smid, KVK 42147306, in the Netherlands. Contact joost@aismid.nl for privacy questions or requests. Our seller and contact details use the same business information as checkout.
What VLP stores
Your account contains your name, email and authentication records. Birth profiles contain the birth date, reported local time, place label, coordinates, timezone and any birth-time provenance or uncertainty you provide. Report jobs store generated report text, structured evidence, warnings and version/provenance metadata.
Why the birth data is used
When you generate a report, the selected birth profile is sent through the private versioned VLP engine boundary for deterministic chart calculation and evidence-grounded interpretation. The calculation is followed by AI interpretation through OpenAI, as described below. Birth inputs and reports are personal data; generated wording does not make them anonymous.
Payments
VLP stores a minimal local purchase ledger containing product, provider payment identifier, amount, currency and payment status. Payment processing is handled by Mollie. Mollie receives the product, amount, VLP account identifier and the payment details you enter in its checkout. We also save the accepted purchase terms, acceptance time, confirmation email address and any withdrawal request. VLP does not store full payment-card or bank credentials.
Export
Signed-in users can download a machine-readable JSON export from the Account page. It includes the current account identity plus saved birth profiles, report artifacts, persisted membership data and VLP purchase/credit records, the accepted purchase text and withdrawal requests linked to the account.
Birth-profile deletion
Deleting a birth profile removes that saved birth input. Reports already generated from it remain in report history as historical artifacts. They are no longer linked to a live editable birth profile, and the deleted profile cannot be used to generate another report.
Account deletion
Account deletion requires the current password. It removes VLP birth profiles, report jobs and their evidence, report credits, persisted membership state, authentication accounts and active sessions. Local purchase-ledger rows and purchase/withdrawal records are detached from the deleted VLP user ID. The stored purchase-confirmation email address is cleared. Account deletion does not cancel a purchase or complete a refund; you can still contact support using your saved purchase reference.
Which services receive data
- Google Maps: place-search text is sent to Google Places. The time-zone lookup sends the selected coordinates and a timestamp derived from the birth date.
- OpenAI: structured chart facts and derived astrological information are sent for interpretation. The writing step also receives the structured interpretation text. These requests are made by our report engine.
- Google email relay: account and purchase emails pass through a Gmail SMTP relay. The relay receives the recipient address and message content; your own email provider also receives the delivered message.
- Mollie: processes payments and refunds, as described above.
Account authentication and application records are stored on our own application/database infrastructure. Using the Better Auth software does not mean your account is hosted by Better Auth.
AI data handling
Our engine requests that OpenAI not save the response as a stored response object. This is not a promise of zero retention: OpenAI documents separate abuse-monitoring retention, normally up to 30 days with exceptions for legal and safety needs. Its published API policy says data is not used for model training by default. See OpenAI data controls.
External services may process information outside the European Economic Area. This notice does not claim that all processing stays in the EU.
How long data remains
Saved birth profiles remain until you remove them or delete your account. Completed reports remain in your account history until account deletion, including reports made from a profile you later remove. Transaction and withdrawal records are handled separately for administration and resolving purchase requests.
Deleting an active account does not instantly change pre-existing database backups or remove messages already delivered to your email provider. Contact us with questions about retained records or a deletion request.
Your choices and rights
You can edit or delete birth profiles, export your account data and delete your account from the Account page. Providing birth data is necessary to generate your selected report; you can choose not to request a report.
Contact joost@aismid.nl to request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability, or to object to processing where that right applies. You can also complain to the Dutch Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
Astrological interpretation is generated content for reflection. It is not used by VLP to make decisions about eligibility for employment, credit, insurance or other services.
